Books by Bryan Burrough

Bryan Burrough is an American journalist and author who spent more than a decade as a staff writer at The Wall Street Journal, where he co-reported the RJR Nabisco story with John Helyar that became the basis for Barbarians at the Gate. Helyar is a business journalist who later wrote Lords of the Realm, a history of baseball and money. Burrough has subsequently written several other narrative nonfiction books including Public Enemies (on John Dillinger and J. Edgar Hoover) and The Big Rich (on Texas oil dynasties). Barbarians at the Gate, published in 1989, is widely considered one of the defining business books of the twentieth century and was adapted into an HBO film in 1993.
